The FAA has issued a proposed airworthiness directive requiring inspections of seats on 453 Boeing 737-8 and 737-9 planes, potentially affecting around 31,000 seats across various airlines. The issue involves seats that may become dislodged during turbulence or emergency situations, risking passenger and crew injuries or obstructing evacuations. The inspection process is estimated to cost airlines about $2.7 million, with additional expenses for re-installation if necessary. The directive specifically targets U.S.-based airlines, where more than 823 MAX jets are currently operational.Boeing has previously alerted airlines about seat installation issues and supports the FAA\u2019s move to make inspections mandatory.The FAA\u2019s action follows earlier safety concerns, including a 2024 incident involving a loose door plug on an Alaska Air jet, which led to grounding numerous aircraft and fines for safety violations.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Federal Aviation Administration wants airlines to inspect seats on hundreds of Boeing 737 MAX passenger jets, saying improperly installed cabin seats could pose a danger.<\/p>\n<p>A report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/suzannerowankelleher\/2026\/07\/28\/faa-improperly-installed-seats-boeing-737-max\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forbes<\/a> said the directive could impact 31,000 seats on various airplanes.<\/p>\n<p>In a proposed airworthiness directive published late Monday, the FAA said some seats are incorrectly installed in their tracks, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/business\/airlines\/u-s-regulator-says-airlines-should-check-seat-installation-on-some-boeing-models-0ff06e11?st=wasjEz&#038;reflink=desktopweb_permalink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The order required seats on 453 Boeing 737-8 and 737-9 aircraft to be inspected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA track-mounted passenger seat assembly that is installed incorrectly can disengage from the seat tracks if there is an increased load, turbulence, or emergency landing,\u201d the FAA said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis condition, if not addressed, could result in injury to passengers and crew during an emergency landing or could block the aisle, which could slow evacuation,\u201d the agency added.<\/p>\n<p>The inspection will cost airlines about $2.7 million, with any costs to re-install seats likely making the total higher.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed a new airworthiness directive that would require 453 Boeing 737 MAXs to be inspected after reports that certain passenger seat assemblies were not correctly installed in the seat tracks.<\/p>\n<p>The FAA found that a track-mounted\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fgkRM8qOBj\">pic.twitter.com\/fgkRM8qOBj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Breaking Aviation News &#038; Videos (@aviationbrk) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/aviationbrk\/status\/2081821269448695826?\">July 27, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>More than 2,300 MAX jets are currently in operation, with 823 flown in America, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/faa-says-seats-hundreds-boeing-737-max-were-incorrectly-installed-2026-07-27\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The FAA order only covers those flown by U.S.-based airlines.<\/p>\n<p>There \u200bcould be as many as \u200b69 track-mounted passenger \u2060seat assemblies on each 737 MAX, the FAA said.<\/p>\n<p>Each inspection would take about one work hour.
